The Checkup with Doctor Mike · She Doesn't Want To Cure Her Blindness | Molly Burke · 12 Oct 2025 podcast

But you know, there's so many examples of how something that was designed to be inclusive for disabled people actually benefited society at large.

So I think it's really important to understand that we're not thinking of making the world more accessible.

We're thinking about making the world more universal, better for everyone.

And that deserves to have budget allocated.

That deserves people's time, money, attention, and energy.

I mean, there definitely isn't right now.

It's currently looking to be rolled back the mandate for accessibility in buildings.

So as I said, right now we still live in a country where it is legal to pay disabled people less than minimum wage.

And we know minimum wage is not even a livable wage.

So to pay them less than that, we live in a world where government assistance for those with disabilities is not only being jeopardized, but is still not livable.

Disabled people are in systemic poverty, are not able to get opportunities.

We look at the unemployment rates, 80% of disabled people in this country are unemployed.

One in four Americans are disabled.

So it is a huge problem.

And a lot of it comes down to fear.

I think, A, it's important for everybody to remember that disability is the only minority community that anybody can join at any time.

The majority of disabilities are acquired through age, accident, or illness.

You are temporarily non-disabled.

you can join us at any time.

So we're not talking about a community that doesn't affect you.
